Connecting with Creativity: The Proven Benefits of Art, Storytelling, Movement and Music Plus A Celebration

About the Event

Participate in an interactive event to learn how creativity and movement can spark joy, social engagement, and cognitive benefits for persons living with dementia.

Maria Genné, the founder & director of Kairos Alive, will explain how her intergenerational workshops integrate dance, music, and storytelling. Holly Nelson, Director of Lifelong Learning & the Arts at Lyngblomsten, will discuss the importance of art and music and why doing and enjoying is more important than the final product. Carolyn Klaver RN, a dementia specialist for Lyngblomsten Community services, will lead the group in Timeslips, a creative storytelling program.

We are concluding our presentation with a celebration! We are delighted to announce that Sara Barsel, co-founder and leader of the Roseville Alzheimer's Community Action Team, has been awarded the 2023 Andrus Award for Community Service by AARP Minnesota. Sara will be presented her award at a post-event reception sponsored by AARP Minnesota. Cake and refreshments will be served!
